About this property

The perfect Lake Gaston family getaway!

A perfect family retreat tucked away in beautiful Northern Cove! With only a few paddles to get to the main lake, our house is situated perfectly in a quiet, tranquil cove and ready for a memorable family vacation. This is a newer listing and set up based on years of renting other properties. Everything is here to enjoy Lake Gaston to the fullest!

It is just a short, flat, easy walk down to the double boathouse which hosts plenty of shade and sun seating options. All the toys are down by the dock; 2 kayaks, 2 stand up paddleboards, a big foam floating mat, two pedal boats and don’t forget about the custom Tarzan swing to launch off the dock and into the water!! Refrigerator and stereo system are inside the boathouse along with a variety of life jackets, a pull behind tube for the boat and tow ropes. There are tie ups on one side of the dock for your boat or message us about renting our 2020 Godfrey Tritoon and jetskis!

A fire pit rests in between the tall pines just off the water. Plenty of firewood is available for evening story telling.

Two brand new grills are on the deck just off the kitchen for easy access. A propane grill for every day cooking and a Traeger wood pellet smoker for the more serious outdoor chef. Plenty of propane and pellets are on site!

A massive screened in porch gives a quiet lake view. The 4 hanging chairs are a comfy treat! Corn hole boards and bags are hanging up.

Plenty of eating locations are available whether it be on the dock, the screened in porch, the back deck, the 12 seater dining room table or the lake view breakfast nook. Food lion and a variety of restaurants and food trucks are all within a 5 minute drive. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the supplies to bring a feast together. Coffee makers, air fryer, crock pot, blender, waffle maker, s’more sticks, measuring cups, meat thermometer, cheese grater, it is all in there!

The master suite is on the main floor with a king bed and ensuite full bathroom. Another full bathroom is just off the kitchen and dining room. Upstairs hosts three separate rooms sharing two full bathrooms. At the top of the stairs there is a landing room with a twin trundle bed. This is a great space for children that want to be closer to their parents and we do not count this as an official bedroom. Walking through this room you pass a full bathroom with a classic stone chimney. The far room has a queen size bed and large screen TV. The third, lake view room also has a queen bed with a half bath connected. A private room connected to this third bedroom looks over the lake with a craw foot tub/shower and yet another single bed with a trundle. The basement is set up as a bunk room and has two, twin over twin bunks and one twin over full bunk. There are plenty of games, toys and a TV in the basement. All of these rooms can be closed off individually with doors.

The garage is set up for fun! A pool/air hockey combo table is alongside a beautiful Stiga ping pong table. A 50 inch tv is ready for your gaming system from home. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Ms. Pacman arcade games are primed to bring back childhood memories. Two bikes (one adult, one kid) are available for a pedal up the road.

The living room hosts quaint Northern Cove views from the super comfortable leather sectional. A new 75” Roku TV is ready to sign into whatever app you want for evening movie watching. A wireless mesh network is setup producing speeds over 220 mb’s all the way down to the dock without issue. An office space is right around the corner from the living room and can be sectioned off with doors.

We have a pack ‘n play crib available (sheets included), a toddler bed, and one booster seat that straps onto a chair. Full size washer and dryer are in the closet off the master suite.

Only 5 minutes from Food lion, the dollar store and the ABC store. Public boat ramp also only minutes away.

Please no smoking in the house or on the screened in porch. Sorry no pets. Lake Gaston Dog Boarding is about 20 minutes away if you wanted to keep your buddy local for visits. https://lkgdogboarding.com/

Check in is at 4:00 pm and check out is at 10:00 am. June through August we offer a 6 night minimum starting on Sunday’s.

Comfortable and easy
We have a group of 3 families, 13 people aged 8-50, who spend every memorial day weekend at lake gaston. This house has been one of our absolute favorites. It is extremely clean, very homey and comfortable, and has everything we needed. Plenty of fun activies for kids, teens, and adults and places to relax as well. Having the boat and seadoos right there and available to rent was a huge bonus and made the weekend that much more fun plus it was much easier then driving over to a rental company. Chris was fantastic to work with as well, he explained everything clearly and was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Already looking forward to our trip next year.

Fantastic family getaway
The property is hands down one of the best properties I have stayed in. It is perfect for families, very clean, so much space and a ton of fun things to do in the lake! The owner was fantastic- great communication and a very easy check in/check out process.

great house on the water
The layout of the house was quirky but worked well for our family of 5 adults and 2 kids. Very comfortable and welcoming. Super clean. Linens provided. Nice set up for watching march madness basketball on big screen tv. Kitchen very well equipped. Nice to be able to rent pontoon boat directly from owner and avoid the marina. Owner very responsive and welcoming. Wonderful spring break getaway!

Family Reunion
This was a great house for us (4 adults and 3 kids). The layout is a bit quirky, but it has EVERYTHING that you could want - great kitchen, multiple TVs, a game room, a dock with boats (and potential boat rentals), comfortable beds, and an attentive owner. We will be back.
